How did you find your Nanny or daycare?

We are thinking about daycare or maybe a nanny after I return to work. I have no idea how to find a good Nanny at an affordable rate or even how to research daycare centers? This is all very new to me :)

My name is Tiffany Moran, I live off Louetta and Lexington Right off I45. I have a 8 month old little girl, and if your anything like me, You have already started looking and visiting local daycare's.. With my findings, The "cheaper" daycares's were really crapy, dirty, smelly and the people were just the same. I couldn't STAND the thought of leaving my daughter in the hands of these people. And the nicer daycare's like Primrose and Childrens Courthouse were really nice, well put and the people were friendly, But It would coast me almost ALL MY paycheck just to put Kayla in a daycare like that. So my husband and I made the decision that I would stay home and take care of Kayla.

We have now made the decision to start a affordable In Home Day Care. I currently watch a 2yr old and am about to watch a 2 month old.

I live in a Gated Neighborhood and Have 4,000 sq. feet to work with in my home. We have 5 bedrooms for nap time. If you are interested in knowing pricing/a walk through interview, Or if you want to talk over coffee you can email me at Tiffany.Quinn@gmail.com...

If you however aren't, please just responded to this post letting me know. And feel free to let your friends know about Me. :-)

We used an au pair first. We found her through Au Pair Care (www.aupaircare.com). It was a cheaper option than daycare. My daughter is at Montessori now. I basically just asked coworkers and toured schools.

The Texas Department of Family Services site has a tool where you can search for registered day-cares/at home care centers by zip-code or other criteria. You can also see how many violations or complaints that a center has as well. It was a great reference tool for me when I was researching day-cares!

Good luck
